KIFI (Idaho Falls, Idaho) 08 May 06 Judge Judy Made Decision On Rexburg Python Case
Judge Judy had plenty to say in the case involving local reptile celebrity Bessy, the Burmese Python that got loose in a Rexburg apartment complex.
The case received attention from Judge Judy after Bessy escaped into the walls of her owner’s apartment.
Bessy’s owner, Chelsea Carter, filed a lawsuit against her apartment manager, Kevin Kennedy, in March. Kennedy filed a countersuit and the case was sent to Judge Judy’s television courtroom.
During the televised proceedings the outspoken judge has plenty to say.
“He didn’t make you get rid of her,” Judy said, “The day you wanted to go with your snake, the day they got him out, you take your snake and you go live with your father. He didn’t make you get rid of her; he said you’re not coming to my house.”
After all was said and done, Judge Judy ruled in favor of Kennedy.
“He had a right to evict you, you violated the lease, what’s next?” said Judy, “Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $880.00, your counter claim is dismissed.”
All expenses for both parties, including the loser’s fees, were covered by the show.
